Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025 Top Quality

Judging by the other reviews, I recognize that my experience isn't typical but-

I received my PowerCurve in November 2005. The belt slipped within the first minute of use. I put it back in place but it kept slipping.

First repair simpy replaced the belt

After it broke immediately, second repair replaced it again, this time doing some "additional calibration"

After it broke immediately again, the third time the toro repaid guy identified a bigger problem that he couldn't fix. So, I took it to a "master" repair guy at the end of last season.

First use, this season, it broke within the first minute. AAAARRRRRGGGGGGH!!!!

What's worse is that while its still under warranty, Toro says it has to be returned to the retailer and Amazon says they won't take it back after 30 days. At the very least, maybe a Brick and Mortar is best for purchases like this.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
